Saloon Cars are basically very simple, the vehicles are six cylinder production based model VT Commodore and AU Falcon sedans, slightly modified for competition, safety and reliability.

The category is a full-on traditional battle between Holden and Ford that offers competitors high-speed thrills at a relatively low cost, and of course entertainment for the spectators.

Saloon Car racing has brought to Australian motor sport something that has been needed for a long time i.e. close,high-speed competition at a realistic cost.

Saloon Cars are envisaged as a vital step in Australian Touring Car racing. They have been part of the support program of many of the highest profile race meetings in the country including the V8 Supercar Series, Clipsal 500, Dunlop V8 Supercar Series, and the Bathurst 1000.
